I want to:
*invoke multiple sub-jobs from a script, limited by the amount of
computers I have available/can send those jobs to.
*when I've launched as many jobs as I have machines, wait

child_pids, and 'wait'.

If I launch multiple jobs up to max_machines as it were, and use 'wait',
it appears to only wait for one
